From 20th-22nd September 2026, approximately 70 international researchers discussed cryogenic components. The “KRYO 2026” expert forum brings together national expertise in quantum technology. The CiS Research Institute was represented with two presentations
The Institute of Physics at the Technical University of Ilmenau is currently hosting its 24th Ilmenau Physics Summer for high school students with a passion for physics. Kai Kühnlenz from the CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology gave an accompanying lecture on the topic of superconducting electronics
One characteristic of silicon-based semiconductor resistors used as temperature sensors is that their resistance is affected by magnetic fields. The new CryoMAG-RX research project focuses on the development of a wafer-level temperature sensor that is easy to manufacture, in which the position of a variably adjustable temperature reference point and the shape of the characteristic curve can be influenced – either for specific applications or for optimal metrological performance – by a constant magnetic field
The final results of the research conducted as part of the “CoGeQ” project were presented at Quantum Photonics 2026 in Erfurt in early May. The collaborative project aimed to demonstrate a mobile spin-based quantum processor based on NV centers in diamond. The CiS Research Institute was responsible for the field of assembly and interconnection technology and developed an efficient method for assembling the layered stacks consisting of a diamond chip and a silicon interposer
Color centers such as the G- or T-center in silicon are currently used as the building blocks for silicon-based quantum technology. The aQuSiS research project aims to realize indium-based acceptor defects as readily accessible quantum systems for the first time. The increased understanding of the structure and functioning of this elementary quantum building block could serve as the foundation for its continued integration into modern quantum technologies
On 5th and 6th May 2026, the CiS Research Institute will present its portfolio of quantum technologies at Booth 615 in Hall 2 at the Erfurt Trade Fair. Dr. Mario Bähr, a researcher at the CiS Research Institute, will speak on “Enabling Technologies for Quantum Applications” during a coffee pitch on Tuesday at 15:15
From 17th-19th February 2026, the 21st “Trento” Workshop on Advanced Silicon Radiation Detectors will take place in Perugia, Italy. The CiS Research Institute will be represented there with a contribution on improving low gain avalanche detectors (LGAD) in terms of sensitivity to low-energy electrons
This weekend, SPIE Photonics West, the world’s leading event for lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronics, biophotonics, quantum technology, and image processing, kicks off in San Francisco, California, USA. The CiS Research Institute will be represented in the extensive conference program with two presentations on technologies for manufacturing quantum computers and high-speed NDIR gas sensors
On 4th November 2025, the CiS Research Institute invited the public to an open dialogue in the historic ballroom of Erfurt City Hall under the motto “Understanding quantum technologies – popular rather than scientific.” Interested citizens enjoyed an informative introduction to the event with experiments and a welcome address from the city of Erfurt. Around 60 interested participants joined Prof. Thomas Ortlepp, Managing Director of the CiS Research Institute, on a journey into the quantum world and the development of quantum computers
Under the motto Key Technologies for Photonic Quantum Systems, scientists and engineers from research and industry discussed the challenges and potential of photonic quantum technologies on 22nd October 2025. This year’s CiS MOEMS Workshop in Erfurt offered all participants an excellent platform to intensively discuss findings from projects and industry, exchange experiences, and generate new ideas
